One person was dead and another wounded early Saturday following a workplace shooting at a Clayton County fast-food restaurant.
Clayton police spokesman Tim Owens said the shooting happened about 5 a.m. at the Krystal restaurant on Ga. 138 in Stockbridge.
The Krystal manager and an employee were preparing to open the restaurant when the employee apparently got upset with the manager over a reduction in work hours, Owens said.
The employee shot the manager in the leg, then turned the gun on himself. Owens said the employee, whose name was being withheld until relatives could be notified, later died.
The manager was taken to a local hospital. Her condition was not immediately available, but Owens said her wounds were not life-threatening.
The shooting happened at the same Krystal where last July a recently-fired employee allegedly shot and critically wounded manager Cheryl Alphabet and a Clayton police officer who responded to the shooting.
In that shooting, Marquet Sherman Donald, 21, of Hampton, was charged with aggravated assault, aggravated assault against a police officer, numerous counts of armed robbery, kidnapping, felony obstruction and motor vehicle theft.
The wounded officer, Matthew Whitton, was shot in the wrist during a struggle over the officer's gun.
